My censored IMDB review
IMDB is overrun with censorship. I'm posting my rejected review below. There's nothing offensive or wrong with my review, but IMDB don't like it when reviewers mention DEI political messaging in movies.
------
While the animation looks okay, the magic of Pixar has diminished from previous years. We are now seeing bland stories, safe inclusive narratives, box-ticking stories written and meddled with from the outside.
The problem with forcing DEI politics into animated movie stories is it's not subtle. When subtlety is lost, it negatively impacts the overall art. The usually admiral qualities of original art are pushed to the side because someone in the office insists that certain social messaging should be front and centre. So the story becomes a kind of lecture primarily, with a sci-fi story added as afterthought.
It seems like movie studios are oversensitive about such things, and compromise their own art in an attempt to appease certain activist groups or political interests that come from the animation studios or other places. This shouldn't be the case. Art should be pure art, not contaminated by politics.
